Disposable/forwarding e-mail

The last thread I saw about this http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322736 is almost three years old, so I thought I'd see what people are using these days.

I've been using Mailshell www.mailshell.com happily for several years after reading about them in the Wall Street Journal. It allows me to create an unlimited number of disposable e-mail addresses that forward to the address of my choice. It's very useful in that I can create unique addresses when I register at websites. And it's free.

I think Mailshell terminated new signups for this service a while ago.

When I went to their website recently, I saw a bulletin that Mailshell was terminating the service altogether at the end of February or soon after.

I e-mailed the customer service asking whether, indeed, the service I was using was ending and they confirmed this. They sent me a link about other services, though they did not have any specific recommendations.

Since within a few weeks the company will shut down my account and I will lose all my unique addresses, I have to try to find an alternative so that I can change my subscriptions, registrations, etc.

Suggestions?
